My first journey we started with just email and a weekly phone call. Then we started texting frequently. This time I've only spoke to them on our phone conference. I'm sure it will pick up once we get going.

We talk every day and we are becoming very close friends. I even watched her kids yesterday when she went to talk to her lawyer about the contract( we knew each other from church before this). I want to be as much a part of this process/pregnancy (once we are pregnant) as I can and so does our GS!

Well, my SIL have always talked a lot and now that we're planning all the details of our first insem in January, we are constantly talking/texting/driving my partner insane! It helps because we are not sharing the news with family until BFP and everyone else until 12 weeks!

After we signed the contract, IF and I started texting right away, we usually text multple times a day, and also talk on the phone every couple of days. We just finished the mock cycle and are about to start the first cycle now, so it's been mostly personal, non-surrogacy stuff, just getting to know each other. We have a lot in common, as it turns out :) It helps that it's just me and him, no other people to worry about (spouses, etc).

We also live close, so have met up several times already for lunches & dinners. I hope it stays this way! We both would like to be as close and as involved as possible, during and after the pregnancy. I think it's the only way I could do this. Knowing him, and what this all means to him, is what's gonna keep me going, when it's time again to stick the giant needles in my rear end :/
